THE OLD FASHIONED DOCTOR.

O, don't you remember the old-fashioned doctor
Who, when we were children, would enter the
room,
And, looking as wise as an owl or a proctor
Would frighten and fill us with thoughts of the
tomb?
He'd stalk to our crbside and order us gruff1y
To stick out our tongue, which we'd do with
such dread,
And give, while he handled our pulses so roughly,
An ominous shake of his solemn old head.
And then. while he listened to mothers descrip-
tion
OF things we had eaten and what we had done,
He grimly would write his old Latin prescrip-
ton
For nastiest medicines under the sun.
Those horrible doses How mother would scold
us;
And beg US, and buy us to take 'em in vain;
And, o. how we'd struggle when father would
hold us
And squeeze shut out noses regardless of pain.
And, when forced to open our mouths, quickly
mother
Would shove in a spoonful that strangled US
till
We sputtered it out-just in time for another.
It's vile deathly tastes in our memory still.
Thank goodness that old-fashioned dosing is
ended,
With sweet candy pellets and powders in lieu,
The sick little toddlers do take 'em so splendid
That even the well ones all cry for 'em, too.

NEVER MIND.
BY REV. HENRY BURTON, M. A.

Did you hear the angry word =?
Never mind;
Let it be as never heard
Never mind;
Twill but rankle in the breast,
Twill but break thy spirits rest,
Cast it from thee, that is best
Never mind.
Have you planned and toiled in vain?
Never mind;
Loss sometimes is highest gain,
Never mind;
Honor is not bought and sold,
Character is more than gold,
These are yours, a wealth untold
Never mind.
Does the night seem dark and long?
Never mind;
You can cheer it with song,
Never mind;
Darkness always leads to dawn,
Night is but the gate of morn,
Out of griefs our joys are born
Never mind.
Does the east wind rudely blow?
Never mind;
Does the north wind bring the snow?
Never mind;
'Twould be south, or 'twould be west,
If thy Father thought it best;
Face it, like the vane, and rest
Never mind.
Is the future all unknown?
Never mind;
Thou wilt never be alone
Never mind;
Turn above thy weeping eyes,
Heaven is watching through the skies,
Trust the Love that never dies
Never mind.

TIMELY HINTS ON DIARRHGA.
Journal of Health.

In diarrhoea, occurring suddenly, and in
person previously in good health, the first thing
to do, unless vomiting prevents is to take
cathartic, and by that means clear out the intes-
tinal canal, which in such cases almost always
some irritatant matter, such as indigested food,
etc. Castor oil is one of the best agents to en-
ploy for that purpose. That is loathsome
remedy, none can dispute. Those people to
whom it is most abhorrent can generally take it
easily if they will allow druggist to prepare it
for them. In glass of soda-water with lemon
syrup it can scarcely be tasted. For those who
will not take castor oil, a Rochelle powder, or
a dose of magnesia is advised. When the oil
is chosen, the dose should be one ounce, that is,
two tablespoonfuls. To that quantity have the
druggist add twenty-five drops of laudanum.-
After taking this MIXTURE go home If you can,
and lie down for a few hours at least. The
starvation treatment" must follow. Do not
indulge in food for some hours, and then only
little milk and liae-aoater. Above all things let
brandy and other stinulants entiTiy alone. If thirs
ty drink very sparingly of water, and soda
water if a siphon of it can be obtained. 1t
would be even better to forego water entirely
and use cracked ice. Small bits of ice being
allowed to melt in the mouth, swallowed
when reduced to the size of peas relieve the
thirst, and add much to the comfort of the
patient. When nausea is suffered from and
there is no danger of vomiting, then ice only
no water-should be allowed.
person who has been threatened with an
attack Of diarrhoea should confine himself to
liquid foods, for two three days at least, and
those known to be easy of digestion should be
selected. When all trace of the darrhHa has
DISAPPEARED, then solids may be indulged, but
only sparingly at first.
In nine cases Of diarrhoea or dysentery, out OF
ten, if the treatment advised is employed in the
beginning of the attack, no other medicine will
be needed. Years ago the writer was for long
time in the South in district where the worst
form of dysentery prevailed. The oil and lau-
danum mixture was the first given in all cases
where patients could keep it on their stomach"
AS rule, no subsequent medicinal treatment
was needed, and very large proportion of the
patients made rapid recovery under restricted
diet.
In diarrhoa, as in many other diseases, abso-
lutely the majority of people at once when an
attack is coming on, turn to the brandy bottle
for relief and cherry brandy is considered quite
The remedy. 1t is certainly the last thing to be
employed, for it is no more suited to diarrhea,
in the early stage at least, than it is for an eye
water in sore eyes.

HOW GIRLS CAN MAKE THEMs ELVES
AGREEABLE
A,uerican Aoriculfurist for Septem5er.

american Agricultural for September.
Little girls who wish to be agreeable, must re-
member that as rule it is ill-bred to act in
sullen or churlsh manner, to say spteful things,
to ridicule the aged or deformed, to talk and
laugh so loudly as to attract notice in public,
to be petulant to find fault with gift, and to
complain about the weather anything else
unavoidable that happens to be particularly
disagreeable.
Girls try always to be natural, to forget self,
to be gracious toward every one, to cultivate an
amiable disposition, and try to add to the happi-
ness Of others. If possible learn to walk in an
easy and graceful manner without mincing or
taking steps too long.-Iaarn to use your hands
and do not sit in company with your arms ugnt-
ly folded, as though they were not intended for
present use. Conversation requires gestures at
times. If asked to sing or play, comply at once,
if it is in your power to do so. Be scrupulously
neat in dress, and see that your room is always
IN order. And all such disagreeable habits as
pickipg the nose ears or teeth in company, Bit
ting or trimming the nails yawning and appear
ing bored when any GEOGRAPHICALLY an old
person-s speaking Never interrupt any one,
because he is telling you tiresome story. You
can bear the infiction much better than he can
endure the wound his vanity will receive. AL
ways acknowledge an acquaintance, il worthy
of your respect, no matter where he Is, or how
ever shabby his clothes may be. The young girl
or boy who has polite bow, smile anda pleas
ant word for every one, will be blessed with
many friends. Above all, learn to be truehearted
and sincere.
A silly, fickleminded person, with no opinions
and principles worth defending or retaining, is
at best worthless member of society, and one
who will never have much influence for good
He may attain the mere outward polishing OF
manner but his mind and soul will never shine.
Such politeness may make fop or dude" or
''dudine :" but it will never make true gentle
man or lady.
Will not our young readers strive to attain
the courtesy that begins at the hearts core ana
not at the lips? 1t is worth trying.

Los ANGELES AHEAD.
The Game with the Haverleya
Yesterday.

More than ordinary interest
centered in the ball game yesterday
between the Los Angeles Club and
the Haverleys Of San Francisco. 1t
has long been the opinion that the
Los Angeles Club was able to defeat
any other club in the State, but until
the Haverleys were brought down no
contest has been seen. There is
among those interested in thu game
strong sectional feeling and every body
felt that it was necessary for Los
Angeles to excel in t e National
game as we'll ~ in climate and other
advantages. When the present club
WAS organlzed it was thought that the
end lad been accomplished, but
nobody could feel certain
of this until there had been a
trial of strength. Challenges
we're sent north, hut the fame of the
Los Angeles club had reached the
ears of all the northern players and
they displayed no anxiety to try con-
illusions, in fact they declined to
come here and battle Tor the SUI
premency. The Hayerleys for three
wears occupied the position of cham
pion of the California League, but
this year they lost the championship
by one game. Nevertheless they rank
about the best of the league and they
came down here to try the metal OF
the Los Angeles club. II they had any
hope of winning yesterday, they were
badly disappointed, for from the first
it was seen, that well trained as they
we're, the Los Angeles club Was
= trife too heavy for them, and yet
the game was the best that has yet
been played on the grounds, only one
error being given to each nine. The
Los Angeles club was on its metal,
and wanted to show the nor bern
men Just what it could do if it were
20 inclined, and the Haverlys played
we'll to sustain their reputation.
Nilmot in left field, Jevne in centre
and Mccarthy in the right made an
out-feld which was invincible.

IL was several weeks after Bess grew
sstrong and well before either of us al
luded to the dislike we had formerly felt
for Mrs. Brown. Think we were both
silent for very shame.
Then one evening, as we sat in our
accustomed places by the window, 1
busy with my sewing, Bess trying to
figure up how much it would cost to keep
COW, she turned to me and said: "Fan,
want to tell you something. I've had
it on my mind for long time, and I
can't keep it any longerw
"Wellln and / laid down nv sewing
and prepared to liften.
81 expect you'll laugh, but, indeed, it's
no laughing matter" said Bess. "D0
you remember these terrible pies and
puddings"
"Can ever forget them7" 1 cried.
"You don't mean to tell me that you in
tend to go to making pies and buildings
againF'
"No, l only want to tell you that every
egg wasted in those dctestable desserts
belonged to Mrs. Brownp said Bess,
lowering her voice and growing very
red.
"Oh, Bessp and I could get no
further.
SITS the truth and l do feel so mean
about ~ said Bess, "When / gave up
the hope of having flowers, and found
that couldn't keep the chickens out, l
made some nests in the old shed back of
the coal house and the hens laid there
every day. Even Sally didn't know
where the eggs came from, though trem-
bled every day lest she should find out.
"You see, Mrs. Brown had sent back
everything she had borrowed, and had
said that she wouldn't have troubled me
at all only she had been rather pinched
for money, and l felt that had been
little too hard with her, but l wasn't
willing to be friendly just then, and so
went on taking the eggs just out of
spite, for 1 didn't want them or need
them in the least. And now l am so
sorry and so ashamed OF what l did !
When l got well enough to know who
was helping to nurse me, thought
every day I'd tell her about it, but her
very kindness made me afraid"
II don't wonder that your pies and
buildings didn't turn out WE'LL" l said,
smothering a strong desire to laugh
when l saw how troubled Bess was.
81 think it was because used goose.
egg now and then, and they are always
so strong" said Bess, solemnly. "Fan,
l knew you would laugh at last" she
added reproachfully.
II can't help it, and I think Mrs.
Brown would laugh too, if she knew it, ="
l said. Suppose you tell her and see if
she don't" added.
Bess was silent; and to this day I am
not sure that sho acted upon my sugges-
ton, but am inclined to think that she
did.
This much I do know-that the most
valued friend and neighbor we have is
Mrs. Brown; that she has taught Bess to
make excellent pies and buildings; that
the pigs and chickens and geese have
all been sold "becausd they want fifteen
to raise in town." Mrs. Brown said.
Finally when we go to the seaside next
summer, Mrs. Brown will go with us.
For, as Bess says, we shall need kind,
motherly soul to look after us, and
though Questionable friends laugh and
shake their heads when we speak of our
plans, it does not alter our determination
in the least. - Youths Companion.
